Lack of sources[edit]

As a crude estimate, there are approx EIGHTY members of this list. Not ONE has a source. Shocking. The one name that jumped out at me was Pat Tillman. I know a little about his story and don't remember this ever being mentioned. And upon further investigation, there were no readily available sources to back it up. I've pinged the editor and am pre-warning a WP:TNT-esque obliteration of this list. 100% of the sample of 1 fail to meet the criteria for inclusion. We can re-create a new list from the ground up with sources. Better to have nothing at all than untrue statements. Rayman60 (talk) 22:26, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the list can be cleared of excess elements.

There's no way of knowing which elements are excess. As such, it will all have to be removed, and each element to be added back will need to be backed up by a source. If there's a reliable source that lists many, that is also permissible. Rayman60 (talk) 03:14, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The reliable source in which all anti-consumerists are listed doesn't exist.

There may be individual sources where someone like Immortal Technique discusses his stance on consumerism. That would be sufficient/acceptable to add him to the list with the reference. But without sources, nothing in this list - the individuals, the organisations nor the activities can stand. As you've put in some effort to the article, I thought you may be in a position to save some by finding sources (often within the articles of the individuals themselves. I have tried, but for the few I did look at (e.g. Kurt Cobain), there was no evidence they were anti-consumerists. Rayman60 (talk) 04:25, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I shortened the list. I hope this will solve the problem.

Not really as there still isn't a single reference. Rayman60 (talk) 15:30, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
